A not entirely serious record of the Tele-Products 25th Anniversary celebration open day

1. Tele-Products
25th Anniversary Open Day
October 2013

2. We opened our premises to suppliers,
partners, customers & friends for the
afternoon
The following is an unedited
photographic record of some of the
events…
Names haven’t been changed to
protect the innocent!

3. We ran a number of competitions
including one to identify the baby
photos of some Tele-Products staff…

4. Anode Electronics, one of our key
suppliers, brought along examples of
some of their capabilities

5. The Buildabot 3d Printer from
York3dprinters.com
Seggy Segaran, TeleProducts founder and
our Technical
Director, describes the
Buildabot to Norman
Whyte from the Eco
Business Centre

6. Seggy demonstrating one of our test
fixtures to Neil Turnbull of PAT Training
Services and Charley Downey

7. The Construction Challenge:
Build the tallest structure capable of
holding a tennis ball for 5 mins using only
newspaper and sellotape
Charley “helping” the
PAT Training Services
team

8. The Construction Challenge Winner
Karen Swallow, our
Warehouse Manager,
presents the prize to Ed
Hunn from Evercode,
leader of the winning
team whose structure
was 2.4m high!
Not sure Ed can contain
his excitement…

9. Seggy enthrals the audience with a
potted history of Tele-Products…

10. …And then tries to sell copies of his
business book!

11. We presented a cheque to the Prince’s
Trust – a great organisation who we are
proud to support

12. Ed Reid, from The Alternative
Board, talked about the elements of a
great business
He was so animated
that his hand became
a blur!

13. Charles Storr, from City of York
Council, talked about the importance
of manufacturing SMEs to York’s
economy
(and wasn’t
worried by
the overhead
water
balloons) 

14. The highlight of the catering was a
very special cake – baked and
decorated by Wendy Dixon, our Office
Administrator

15. It was a shame to cut it but it had to
be done!

16. Finally: A big thank you to everyone
who attended. We had a great time
and hope you did too.
We will see you all again in 2038 for
the 50th!
